I am trying to solve a recording problem with my Ceton InfiniTV4 tuner. None of my recordings are completing. They start fine but after a random number of minutes I get the Weak TV Signal and the program continues to record but the warning is the only thing you can see. The problem started 8 weeks...

I had the plugin for years until my setup crashed in May. It is a great way to quickly check the performance of your tuners. I contacted Josh Pollard at DMZ and he was able to go into his archives and find the plugin and send it to me. He said he was going to update the link at DMZ but I just...

Fresh install of Win7.

Last post
Both Windows 7 and Windows 8 both have a WMC activation screen, especially when using a cable card tuner.
Nope. I've used cable with WMC since Windows XP. I have used Ceton tuners since digital cable became available. There has never been an activation in WMC for cablecards or anything else.

Anyone figured out how to get this going?
When I search for WMC + Shield all the results are just of people migrating from WMC to Shield.

Basically do something similar to this but add in virtual here for full remote support. I'm not sure if that will pass 5 channel audio though.

Ah yes, if you are not allocating specific tuners to each WMC then you will always get tuner conflicts like this, perhaps that is what byronomo is talking about (and not about using a tuning adapter and getting timeouts). In this case increasing the timeout would do nothing to help, as the reason...

Another thing that can cause symptoms that APPEAR to be duplicate files is the following scenario:
Recordings are moved to a NAS (Synology in my case) and accessed from client PC(s). When you delete a recorded program, it re-appears and you have to delete it again.
This is caused by having...
